The Munich Advanced Structure Deployment EXperiment has been approved by DLR authorities to compete for a place in it’s REXUS programme. MASDEX investigates the deployment of large structures by a novel approach, which is based on in-orbit curing of the matrix resin of composite structures. A successful selection by the REXUS board would provide the MASDEX team with additional financing and the possibility to launch a demonstrator on a Orion sounding rocket for micro gravity testing.
